Overview
- Delhi Police, who traced the messages to Mysuru, arrested 47-year-old Srinivas Louis on Thursday and obtained a transit warrant to bring him to the capital.
- Officers said he admitted in initial questioning to sending more than 1,100 hoax threats via email and other platforms that targeted courts, schools, and government offices nationwide.
- Police seized a laptop and multiple SIM cards from his home for forensic checks to map all recipients and assess whether he acted alone.
- Recent alerts to the Delhi High Court, the Assembly, and many schools led to evacuations and bomb squad searches, yet every threat proved false under security protocols.
- Investigators say hoaxers often use VPNs and internet calling tools that mask location and slow attribution, a challenge that has grown during a year with hundreds of threats across India.
